Q #715 - Your vehicle breaks down on the hard shoulder of a motorway. You need to use your mobile phone to call for help. What should you do?
You should use an emergency telephone when you break down on the motorway; only use your mobile if this isn't possible. The emergency services need to know your exact location so they can reach you as quickly as possible. Look for a number on the nearest marker post beside the hard shoulder. Give this number when you call the emergency services.
| Stand at the rear of the vehicle while making the call | |
| Phone a friend and ask them to come and collect you | |
| Open the bonnet to help the emergency services know you've broken down | |
| Check your location from the marker posts on the left |
